PUK code

[coopball2]

I apparently need something called PUK code to activate my cellular data which isn’t working right now. I switched from bell. I was in contact with a customer support agent and I haven’t received any help or anything. Any ideas on what I should be doing?

@coopball2 - Nice to hear that it worked!

[coopball2]

Thank you so much. Apparently all I needed was a PUK code and I was able to get it from the moderator.

@coopball2 - Finish setup (Port number) then go to activation email and scan eSIM QR code.

Email:

And do this on the iPhone

1. Go to settings
2. Go to Cellular
3. Check if eSIM is installed, if so:
If it is installed: Just wait for the eSIM to connect to Public Mobile Network or enable it if disabled
If it isn't installed, please go to step 4

4. Go to "Add eSIM"

5. Scan as QR code

6. Scan it:

Or alternatively use the Camera app or Code Scanner app to activate, it will look like this:

CS agent can give you the unlock PUK.  Please check community inbox for reply.

Message them again if over 4 hours and still nothing

I am on an Iphone. I outright bought this phone many years ago. I have used Bell for the last 4 years but have been a public customer in the past as well. 

[coopball2]

This is the message that I keep receiving. I have messaged a moderator but I haven’t heard anything back for 30 mins now.

hi @coopball2 what phone is that?? where you hit it from?? if it has never been used on PM network nor Koodo and Telus, it is likely a carrier lock and you need to get the code from the carrier you got the phone from originally

@coopball2 

what was the exact error message? Depends on the message, you have to ask the PUK code from different places

If it is a Samsung and if the message is "SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK." , 
      call  Samsung 1-800-726-7864 for a master unlock code.
      The only info you will need to provide is the IMEI and where the phone was purchased

If the message is “PIN unlock key (PUK)” or "Enter PUK Your SIM  Card, SIM cannot be accessed" or on an iPhone's status bar showing  "Locked SIM"
         open message support here: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437
          or use this direct link to open Chatbot ticket:  https://urlshortner.tiia.ai/Oyn1L6
            **Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on the top right) after the ticket is opened.  CS Agent will reply to you there.

If the message is "SIM network unlock PIN" or "SIM ME lock code NP" or "SIM not Supported" or on an iPhone's About->Carrier Lock showing "SIM locked"
          You have to ask the carrier where you got the phone from for the carrier help unlocking it.
           (Sorry, for this particular issue, PM support would not be able to help)
